Unless President Motherfucker-Felon wants to press his mushroom against the third rail of the 2A. To which I say good luck with that as well.

(19,023 posts)It’s never been invoked nationwide before, only to cities experiencing widespread rioting or natural disasters.
If martial law is invoked, it will only be applied to high profile blue cities like Portland or SF.

(11,581 posts)we all had a dollar for every time in the last 45+ years, we said: "The Republicans can't do that" or "the Republicans won't do that" we would all have more money than Musk and his fellow Republican Owned Zillionaires......
And the last 8 years all they are doing has accelerated to warp speed.
Dum-Dum Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld almost succeeded in repealing the Posse Commatatus Act.......The USSC stopped them.
I doubt there would be any interference by the current Republican controlled USSC this time around.

(8,831 posts)if trump declares martial law. However, I'm not convinced he will. I do suspect he'll send in some troops if there is some kind of protest that includes burning buildings, etc. They might just be there for show, though.

(11,581 posts)what Trump and his loyal population of Trumphumpers will do, like during the Peaceful Black Lives Matter Demonstrations around the country, Particularly when Trump sent in selected fanatically bigoted Border Patrol Agents, with no identifying markings and unmarked vehicles to Portland.....

These fucks brought their treasured manhood into the Michigan Capitol to protect their right to not wear masks during a pandemic.

(21,633 posts)The idea of right-wingers ideas of fighting the government, their guns against tanks, planes, drones, nukes?
Any reason the idea is suddenly more plausible?
